[xx-27] Cope

 

Is it hope if you don't have a choice?

Hope or die

Hope or cry

Hope or tell another lie

What is hope if not a default setting?

Hope that "one day"

Hope that they'll forget

Hope that you'll manage

Hope is foolish, and we're born fools

To hope is to live within hope's betrayal

Hope, for what?

Hope's sake

I do not have hope, I have stuck

I have stuck myself in a bottomless well

Of nope, nonsense, and venal temptation

To ascribe hope where stuck reigns

I move in mockery of my motives

I dance like I don't hear the bangs

I sway with the wind working its damnedest

To blow me on the tracks.

Why cry when you can whistle?

Pick, dig, haul, slumber

Bite, clench, stare, wonder

Any minute now
